Professor Jianliang Shen leads a biomedical and biomaterial research laboratory intending to develop innovative approaches that bring the next generation of treatments and diagnostics directly to the clinic. He has joint appointments at Wenzhou Medical University and Wenzhou Institute of the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences since 2017. He has authored over 150 publications on nano/microscale strategies for cancer and tissue engineering in Nature Biotechnology, Chemical Society Reviews, Advanced Materials, Advanced Functional Materials, and so on. |
Read Jianling’s Emerging Investigator Series Article, A chitosan-based self-healing hydrogel for accelerating infected wound healing, DOI: D3BM00061C.
Check out our interview with Jianliang below:
How do you feel about Biomaterials Science as a place to publish research on this topic?
It was a great experience publishing our work in Biomaterials Sciences, the editors and reviewers handled the manuscript very professionally and efficiently.
What aspect of your work are you most excited about at the moment and what do you find most challenging about your research?
At present, our most exciting aspect is hybrid biomaterials in tissue engineering. The biggest challenge in infected wound healing is how to design functional biomaterials to match the dynamic physiological bottlenecks.
In your opinion, what are the most important questions to be asked/answered in this field of research?
In my opinion, the most important questions to be asked/answered are that：#1 How to develop an antibiotic-free broad-spectrum efficient and safe antibacterial strategy; #2 How to effectively repair chronic wounds and even the regeneration of hair follicles.
Can you share one piece of career-related advice or wisdom with other early career scientists?
In my opinion, in the early stage of the scientific career, we should find like-minded scientists with different backgrounds to discuss and cooperate with because biomaterials science is an interdisciplinary subject.
Keep up with all of Jianliang’s research on the Shen lab Group Website.
